WHIP-SNAP- SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 232,670, dated September 28, 1880. Application filed August 5, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JNo. J. BOHLER. and EZRA S. PHINNEY, citizens of the United States, resident at Westfield, in the county of Hainpden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Whip-Snaps; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The figure in the drawing is a perspective view of a whip snap embodying our improve ment, the loop B of the same being broken to snaps; and the improvement consists in pro viding the same with two loops instead of with one loop, as heretofore, whereby the whip or lash may be connected with one loop and the remaining loop utilized for hanging the whip upon a nail or hook, thus keeping the whip straight when it is not in use. i

In the drawing, Adesignates the snap, provided with the loop B, by which it is secured to a whip or lash, and 0 refers to the second loop, by which the whip may be suspended from a hook or nail.

As shown in the drawing, the snap is bent upon itself at one end and the strands worked together, so as to form the two loops-that is to say, the loops are formed in braiding the snap.

What we claim is- As an improved article of manufacture, the whip-snap A, having the loops B and G braided therein, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN J. BOHLER. EZRA S. PHINNEY.
